	Look at http://www.samag.com/documents/s=3D9102/sam0404a/0404a.htm

   if ( open( F, "/proc/mdstat" ) ) {
     print "RAID detected: ";
     @file =3D <F>;
     if ( / \[(\d)\/(\d)\] / && $2 ne $1 ) {
       print "NOT OK\n";
     } else {
       print "OK\n";
     }
   }

	You can use a bit of perl to detect mdstat errors. Hope it helps.
